    Benefits of body polishing for women

    Updated on 3 November 2023

    Body polishing is a great way to pamper oneself and feel like a goddess. It is a full-body treatment that leaves one feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. It is a combination of a spa and a cosmetic service, so women can get the best of both worlds!

    What is Body Polishing?

    Body polishing is a full-body exfoliation that removes dead skin cells, promotes cell regeneration, and moisturizes the skin. It is a lot like getting a facial, but for the whole body! The procedure involves around seven steps that provide hydration to the skin. Different cosmetic products are used in each step to achieve different results.

    Benefits of Body Polishing

    Body polishing has many benefits. One would be surprised with how a simple body polishing at home can leave them rejuvenated and energized.

    1. Removes Dead Skin

    Body polishing exfoliates the skin by removing dead skin cells from the topmost skin layer. This makes the skin glow with a smoother and refreshed look.

    2. De-clogs Pores

    Moisturizers and skin treatments can be effective only if they reach and penetrate the skin pores. Body polishing can open up the pores allowing the skin to absorb nutrients not only from the polish itself but from other treatments as well.

    3. Improves Skin Health

    Body polish is a great way to promote healthy skin. It helps prevent blocked pores, encourages the growth of skin cells, and minimizes ageing signs. Keeping the skin clean, soft, and hydrated, promotes skin health.

    4. Regenerates Skin Cells

    By using a body polish, the skin can reveal new cells on the surface while also promoting new cell growth.

    5. Removes Impurities

    The skin pores act like little magnets for dirt and grime. If this grime is not removed, it can lead to skin irritation and problems such as acne. Body polish extracts and removes the grime, keeping the pores clean!

    6. Prevents Ingrowth of Hairs

    Ingrown hairs are a common and annoying problem, especially after tweezing or shaving. They can be painful, itchy, and difficult to get rid of. Using a body polish can help prevent ingrown hairs from occurring in the first place!

    7. Helps Moisturize Skin

    If moisturizers are not making a difference to skin health, it could be because the skin is unable to absorb them properly due to the accumulation of dead skin cells. Body polish helps to get rid of those dead skin cells, ensuring a better experience with moisturizers!

    8. Better Tanning Experience

    It is important to have smooth, even skin before any tanning treatment - otherwise, the results will not be as great. Body polishing exfoliates the skin and gets rid of any dryness or unevenness so that the skin becomes the perfect canvas for tan.

    9. Better Shaving Experience

    Shaving can be frustrating when hair is left behind, but this usually dead skin cells often contribute to this. Body polishing can leave the skin smooth giving you a better shaving experience.

    10. Prevents Signs of Ageing

    Body polishing can make the skin look younger. It refreshes and smoothes skin, improving its appearance and giving it a youthful glow.

    Body Polishing at Home

    The best part about body polishing is that it can be easily administered at home. One can make a simple DIY body polishing kit and apply it to the skin. Here is a step-by-step breakdown of the process:

    1. Body polishing at home needs basic items like a pumice stone, a loofah, olive oil, and a DIY or purchased body polishing kit.

    1. Once the kit is ready, one has to prepare the body by taking a shower with lukewarm water.

    1. The next step is to apply a little bit of heated olive oil to the entire body.

    1. Next, the DIY body polish needs to be massaged onto the skin for about 10 minutes with the loofah.

    1. The pumice stone can be used to gently scrub the harder skin parts like the knees, ankles, and elbows.

    1. Finally, the body polish can be rinsed off with a warm bath but without soap to retain the nutrients.

    The skin on the body often gets neglected because it is constantly exposed and does not show signs of wear and tear as easily as the facial skin does. It is high time it starts getting the love it deserves by indulging in body polishing at home. For more such informative articles, follow the Mylo Family blog.
